When we think of an encounter with God, we like to imagine it as spectacular – the loud voice or brilliant light that comes from the sky. And yet it’s far more typical of God to work in the ordinary things of life. It’s on a morning that’s no different from any other or it’s on our way home from work. And there in the midst of the ordinary circumstances of life, God intervenes.

God performs some of his greatest miracles at the most unlikely times. He often speaks to us or reaches out and touches our lives at our least convenient time.

It’s an important lesson for us to learn. We are so prone to want all the circumstances to fall into place, for the timing to be exactly right. The truth is that anytimeGod chooses to work in our lives is the best time.
